Windows 7: Wireless speed only getting 14.5Mbps

Hey, just brought myself a new Wireless N USB adapter and I used to have a DWA-110 D-Link 802.11g, I've purchased it because I've been wanting to watch video files on one computer but they can be stored on several others as we have 1 laptops and two other PC's in the house).

Before I was getting 36Mbps (out of the 54Mbps?), but with the new wireless N device I'm only getting 14.5Mbps even though it's got more signal bars and what not.

Browsing the internet is fine but I thought I would be able to get like 60Mbps+ connection with this new adapter?

Can you or do you have access to your router? You might have to navigate to the wireless tab of your router and fiddle with the wireless mode. If it's on a Mixed Mode, change it to an N or G/N, you may also try this method from your Wi-Fi device. It seems to be that your Wi-Fi device is not hand-shaking with your router's wireless mode.

Considering your USB adapter is a wireless N dongle I would change the router setting to 11N only to see what kind of speeds you get. I t may also be worth looking at checking the adapter setting via your computer (properties/configure/advanced) to see if the speed is been limited there.

Yes, choose the 802.11N (only), if there are others in your wireless network that have B/G devices, they will not connect to the AP if you change it to N. You should give them a heads up that you're fiddling with the router setting. I have my router set to B/G/N bec some of our wireless devices have B/G. You might as well try G, and see how your Wi-Fi device responds.

Wireless download speed ~.38 MbsMy wireless download speed has dropped to about .38Mbs since I installed Win7Pro64bit. I've troubleshot with MS, HP and AT&T and still no luck. Wired it's about 1.4 Mbs so there is something amiss. Have the latest wifi driver, no router, just an AT&T/2Wire modem, 2901HG.

Wireless SpeedI have a Dell D630, previously running Vista. After some minor TCP Window adjustments I had no problem maxing out my circuit on a speed test at 20Meg. Now with a clean W7 install and multiple different trys to adjust things, the fastest I can seem to get it is around 13Meg. Any suggestions?

Wireless Speed Bottlenecked!I'm using a Belkin F6D3000(Atheros Chipset) (g/a/b) wireless adapter that is able to get 108mbs on XP Pro(with and without the "controlling" software).
